Last week I found a box full of memories. The clear out continues, and more treasure is coming to light. This week I found an old journal. To be honest, I don’t really keep a journal.

The Commodore hostedContinue reading “Thursday Doors – The Fabulous Commodore, Vancouver”

The other day I opened a box full of memories. I’ve been having a big clearout recently, inspired by Marie Kondo’s ‘The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying‘. Even though I’ve moved a lot in my life (twenty-four times at last count), clutter still tends to accumulate, especially when you have children. So into cupboards I went,Continue reading “Memory Box”
